MoFo 2014 in the Huon Valley
This year, MoFo includes a Huon Valley Event. Dark Mofo will finish 20 June, but winter sure as hell doesn’t. One month later MoFo rebounds for one last dark night. 19 July 2014, 10am to 10pm. Grove, Huon Valley.
Willie Smiths Apple Shed is the hottest hut in the Huon Valley: craft ciders, artisan cheeses, and plenty of space to sit, chat, roll in the hay, etc. They’ve partnered up with other like-minded locals to throw a mini mid-winter festival to celebrate the region’s apple-pickin’ history.
At its core is a focus on wassailing: the ages-old tradition of scaring nasties out of cider apple trees, from orchard to orchard, in order to bring on a stellar autumn yield. Now, things may seem a little strange at first: kings, queens, processions, giving gifts to the trees, shouting, banging, fire, candlelight, and so forth, but what else would you expect? And if none of that bobs your Geeveston fanny, that’s okay too – there’ll be cider, entertainment and feast-worthy food in abundance.
